Should be compulsory reading for everyone. War is such a mindless loss of innocent life. This book has lost none of its power over time...
"EEEEEEOOOOWWWWFFFTTTZZZ!!!" Scarface Claw
Hilarity for the whole family.
Muddy in places due to depth of unionisation, syndicalism and legislation but ultimately an interesting musing on Orwell's vision of 1984. Certains parts are harrowingly close to coming true.
An overlooked examination of Stevenson's writing from his time in the Pacific; a largely uncharted and sketchily mapped area of the world that he fell in love and wrote about without judgement. These short stories and poems are often ignored in place of more popular publications such as Treasure Island or Jekyll and Hyde but in my opinion are actually more valid to us as teachers on this side of the world in understanding those first few years of Pacific exposure to the Western world. Especially from an unbiased, non-colonial and completely areligious and objective viewpoint.
